This book is about how the Amish of Lancaster, PA reacted to the shooting of 5 school girls in October of 2006. The authors do not spend much time reliving the events of the day. Instead, this book explores the forgiveness that the Amish extended to the killer and his family. Reading this book makes you realize just how unforgiving our society is....less

"OK - I read this book on my friend's rec. (Thanks Chip!). It was totally depressing - but I'm glad I read it. I think being a father of boys made it really come home to me. Also, how many times do you think the word "ash" appears in this t

For those who like history! This book is the detailed story of the election of 1800 which ended in an Electoral College Tie between Thomas Jefferson and Arron Burr. I learned so much in this book about political parties, how they got started in America, and how our Constitution is written to facilitate two-party rule. The story of the campaign brought to mind our current election and proves the point that there is nothing new under the sun....less

This new novel from Tom Perrotta is about life in the 'burbs when those 'burbs are invaded by fundamentalists. There are two main charaters - Ruth and Tim - and the book is divided between their stories. I found myslef liking the Tim character more in the end - but maybe because I identified with him more. What I really liked about this book is the way Perrotta uses the Tim character to remind us that redemption takes many different forms....less
